Preparation: Fire Level & Map Setup

• You need at least level 4 fire to access the Cultist Stronghold. Sometimes level 3 might work, but the stronghold could spawn partly in blocked areas, making it harder to find.
• Start by chopping down trees and adding logs to your fire until you reach level 4.
• Craft a map by using 3 logs; this map will help you locate the stronghold easily since it shows a cult icon on it.

Gathering Ammo and Supplies

• The Cultist Stronghold is packed with cult members who are tough opponents.
• Before raiding, collect plenty of ammo from nearby chests and areas—ammo is crucial as each cult member requires multiple shots to kill.
• You’ll also want to have bandages or healing items ready since cult members can deal significant damage.

Raiding the Stronghold: Step-by-Step

Entering the Stronghold

• The stronghold looks like a castle and has three floors.
• When you open the gate, be prepared for an immediate fight; cult members will spawn in waves.
• Expect some enemies to spawn behind you, so stay alert.
• Each cult member typically takes about four shots to kill.
• Note: The trick to shoot with infinite fire rate has been patched, so you must wait for reloads now.

First Floor

• Defeat the first wave of cult members as they spawn from block doors.
• Pick up ammo dropped by defeated enemies to replenish your supplies.
• Clear all enemies before moving to the next floor.

Second Floor

• More cult members will spawn in waves here as well.
• Watch out for enemies with ranged attacks—some can shoot through walls and seem to have “aimbot” accuracy.
• Keep moving and use cover when possible.
• Use your axe for close-range combat when ammo is low.

Third Floor

• The final floor is the hardest with multiple batches spawning.
• Cult members may even spawn right in the middle of the floor.
• Manage your ammo carefully and keep an eye on enemy positions.
• Use a mix of ranged attacks and melee (axe) when needed.

After Clearing the Stronghold

• Once the stronghold is cleared, you’ll receive a badge as a reward.
• The stronghold contains a lot of metal and patterns which are valuable for crafting.
• You can also find special chests inside that grant random loot like tactical shotguns or diamonds.
• The diamond chest can drop multiple diamonds (about 9 or more), which are valuable in-game currency.

Tips for Success

• Bring plenty of ammo — running out halfway will make the raid much harder.
• Stock up on bandages or healing items.
• Use the map to track the stronghold location easily.
• Take your time if needed — you can farm ammo before continuing the raid.
• Be prepared for enemies that shoot through walls and can spawn behind you.

Raiding the Cultist Stronghold is one of the most challenging but rewarding experiences in 99 Nights in the Forest. With the right preparation, enough ammo, and careful strategy, you can clear all three floors, defeat the cult members, and claim valuable loot including diamonds and unique badges. Good luck, and happy raiding!
